The Jets were ecstatic when Kyle Wilson fell to them in the NFL Draft last week, and nothing the past two days has doused that enthusiasm.

The skills, which made the Boise State cornerback so coveted by the Jets that they ignored more pressing needs to take Wilson in the first round, remain firmly on display during the team’s three-day rookie minicamp that concludes today.

Wilson was projected as the Jets’ starting nickel (third) cornerback when he was drafted, a plan Rex Ryan said yesterday is even more cemented by what the coach has seen this weekend.

“I was a rookie [head coach last year], and my expectations were pretty high,” Ryan said. “My expectations for [Wilson] are that high, too. He’s coming in here to be the starting nickel on the best defense in football. I think he’s going to be great.”

Wilson — who is just 5-feet-10, 194 pounds, but overcomes that with speed and tenaciousness in man coverage — has made it look almost effortless so far in camp.

While fellow highly-touted draft pick Joe McKnight has stumbled mightily out of the gate, vomiting during practice for the second day in a row while dropping four more passes, Wilson already moves around the field like a polished veteran.

Wilson also is looking the part during the minicamp while fielding punts, a role the Jets could have him handle as a rookie after he excelled at that in college.

“I feel right at home,” said Wilson, a Piscataway, N.J., native who ended up in Boise after no major schools — not even hometown Rutgers — recruited him out of high school. “I’m getting a good feel for what they like and want. I just expect the worst and roll with it. If it goes right, that’s a bonus.”

Wilson also can feel relaxed because, despite Ryan’s comments yesterday, the expectations are muted somewhat by the team’s deep stable of veteran corners. The most celebrated of those corners, All-Pro Darrelle Revis, already is Wilson’s role model. Wilson met Revis for the first time earlier this week in the hallways of the Jets’ Florham Park, N.J., complex and plans to pick Revis’ brain early and often.

Facing Revis is so torturous for opposing receivers that he has compared their plight to being stranded on “Revis Island.”

Is “Wilson Island” in the Jets’ future?

“That’s my goal,” Wilson said. “I’d love for that to happen.”

* Ryan indicated the Jets might be cautious with Mark Sanchez coming off knee surgery and hold the quarterback out of next month’s minicamp, but Ryan didn’t rule out Sanchez making an appearance.

Ryan also said the Jets remain interested in free-agent veteran passer Mark Brunell to be Sanchez’s backup. Gang Green is prevented by the NFL’s “Final Four” rules from adding Brunell until one of their own free agents signs elsewhere or until July 22, when the rule is lifted.

If Brunell is willing to wait, Ryan said the Jets would be serious suitors.

* Ryan continues to lavish praise on tryout player Cory Reamer, an undrafted linebacker from Alabama who now appears all but certain to land a contract and a trip to training camp.
